Summary: BEIRUT: Eighty-two percent of the Lebanese believe corruption has significantly increased in the past three years, the Lebanese Transparency Association (LTA) revealed during a luncheon with journalists Wednesday.

Eighty-two percent (945) of the total units are rent-stabilized, and with average rental rates currently at $1,099, which is under market for the area, there is sufficient turnover (approximately 15-20 percent per year) for income growth.

In the eighteen months that he enjoyed line-item veto authority, President Clinton targeted only eighty-two programs, thirty-eight of which were restored by Congress for an overall savings of a mere $2 billion--a drop in the federal bucket.
